Midwinter waltz

I heard this on a Boys of the Lough CD and enjoyed it’s simplicity. As with other"simple" tunes, it sounds nice when played through straight on one or two instruments, with others coming in later to swell and add to the melody.
I would be interested to know who composed it.

Author

It’s written by Dave Richardson of the Boys of the Lough.

He also wrote Calliope House and MacArthur’s Road, great tunes!

A Scottish

A quaint Scottish waltz.
